MIT Press publishes a series called Urban and Industrial Environments. Several of the "author-meets-blogger" books were from that series. The main editor is Robert Gottlieb of Occidental College out in California. I was just made aware of a blog for his Urban & Environmental Policy Institute there, where one can find notices of new books, discussions of current issues in environmental justice, and, you guessed it, matters of urban and environmental policy more broadly speaking.
In addition to the well-stocked and premier Urban and Industrial Environments list, Gottlieb also edits a new series called Food, Health, and the Environment.
Take a look and maybe keep it in your bookmarks folder. It's good stuff. You'll hear more about those books here in the coming months.
